Ho's reunion dinner

Yesterday, I was at the Republic of Singapore Yacht Club to board a ferry. While there, I saw a sign "Ho's reunion dinner". My husband said "the Ho Clan". And in TODAY paper, 8 Feb 10, page 2, there was the report titled "Family of 71 digs in".

Full report says:

"If you think organizing everyone's schedules for reunion dinner is tough, the Ho family tops it all. With 71 members in the extended family, they decided to hedge their bets by holding their feast yesterday. And it worked. From the youngest to the eldest, almost everyone in this family of 11 siblings made it for their early reunion lunch at the Singapore Yacht Club - even if the traditional lo hei meal got a little messy. A closely-knit family, the Ho siblings have carried on with this tradition from the time they all lived together in an HDB flat in Queenstown. And this, despite the fact that their parents - whose photos were shown in a slide show at the meal - have since died.

I thought about our family and "well, if they can do it, so can we." Then I thought "what must it take for them to do this year after year"? I guessed there has to be commitment and leadership, among other things. For us, our Ho Family Retreat 2011 will be it!!!
